from Around The Family Table
Daddy-O’s birthday dinner request, without fail, is ham loaf and macaroni and cheese, a diet-buster for sure. But it’s only once a year.

2 cups ground ham
3 cups ground fresh pork
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1 cup milk
2 eggs

With hands, mix the above. Place in a loaf pan.
Sieve brown sugar over the top, sprinkle ground cloves over the sugar.
Bake at 375°F for about an hour.

(Note: have the butcher grind the ham. Using a food processor to chop the ham makes it too fluffy, not the right texture for a meat loaf. Or, find an old
meat grinder at a garage sale, as I did.)
